Sevilla, Real Madrid set new record

Sevilla became the first team in La Liga
history to start a game without a single Spanish player in their line-up. The
players who featured in the game were from six different nationalities namely
Argentina, France, Brazil, Japan, Italy and Portugal.

Real Madrid on the other hand beat Espanyol 2-0 away to equal Barcelona’s La Liga record for most
successful wins under Pep Guardiola. The Los Blancos recorded 16 consecutive victories, surpassing the
15-game winning streak recorded by the squad during Miguel Munoz’s tenure in the 1960/61 season.
